I had good results on one out of two!
The Doc is happy with my progress but was surprised that the hospital didn't give me a prescription for pain killers when they sent me home.
I now have drugs so my outlook should improve!
As for the emissions testing-FAIL-In spite of an Italian tune-up on the way there. Damn!
The max for HC is .5000 g/km, my reading was .5013 That one was close!
The max for CO is 9.3200 g/km,my reading was12.1912 Out of the ball-park!
The max for NOx is 1.2400 my reading was .5280 so OK on that one.

I have ordered a replacement cat and O2 sensor so we will see if they solve that problem.

Rich, Canadian Tire sell an additive that is supposed to guarantee an emissions pass.

Happy to see you are on the mend!!

I.

And I thought the surgery was for the other end. LOL

Thanks Wikipedia!!

The other end works like a well-oiled machine!

The boys at work called the procedure "Vuvuzela Removal"That's not too far from the truth!

Thanks for the good wishes. After popping a Tylenol3 I was able to get wheel no.3 prepped and primed.
That sure beats laying on the couch all day.

Well Rich, the car can always be fixed if you throw enough money at it! Your health is far more important, so I'd say if you can only have 1 outta 2, then at least they were the right way round! Good luck with the both.

Thanks for the good wishes John!
I'm very happy to say that my recovery is going very well.
I was able to eat my first proper meal in ten days on Saturday night and
was even able to install the wheels over the weekend.
Can't get much better than that!

It can get much better than that ... take the hardtop off and enjoy the rush of air

Nothing beats laying on the couch all day

So you haven't experienced the sheer joy of painting wheels then?

No, but I am getting very good at mutilating my bushes
